Different Circumstances
Prologue
Belle ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She ran from the castle and mounted her horse Philippe before taking off into the night. She cared not about her promise to remain with the Beast she had to get away.
She had not been riding long when she heard the howling of the wolf pack that hunted in these woods. She kicked the horse into a faster gallop but still the wolves gained. She looked over her shoulder to see one of the pack coming up alongside her and kicked out at the animal when it was within reach. This did not have the desired effect though as the creature latched onto her ankle as she pulled her leg back.
Belle cried out in pain but managed to free her ankle from the wolf's jaws, as she did so she urged Philippe on hoping to outrun them.
"Please Philippe, just a little faster, please," she looked behind her once again and knew they could not escape; the pack was surrounding them even as they fled. Several times members of the pack would attempt to bring Philippe down but the horse would buck and dissuade them each time
Before Belle had time to change course Philippe was crashing through the thin ice of a frozen river. Although this stopped the majority of the pack from following Belle came off her horse falling into the frigid water and hitting her head on the edge of the ice as she did so. As she lost consciousness she thought she heard her name being called.
